I went from being a student to being a full-time entrepreneur. The day of my graduation, I rushed back to the workshop, took off my cap and gown, rolled up my sleeves and went straight to work. There were deadlines to be met.

"I come from a very entrepreneurial family. It started with my great-grandfather, who founded a textile business in Guadeloupe. His business grew to become an empire of 12 companies.
